Fitness 4x4

Most fitness training methods focus on usingthe muscles of the lower body to improve cardio-vascular fitness.Hiking, jogging, cycling and aerobics are all examples ofcardiovascular exercise methods that place almost all of their demandon the large muscles of the lower body (legs). They are also theexercises that most people will turn to 'get fit', 'tone-up' or losebodyfat. The question is, can you really get your whole body fit andvital by practising fitness methods which primarily only use onlyhalf the body's muscles? Shouldn't the upper body muscles be involvedin aerobic and fitness exercise in more than just a token manner, andis it truly necessary to separate cardio training and strengthtraining?

 

    

 

More than 30years ago, Dragan Radovic(founder of Fitness4x4 training method) began asking some of theseimportant, but as yet unanswered, questions about fitness. He thenspent the next three decades researching and discovering the answersfirst hand, through a personal exploration into the very core offitness training. What determines total body fitness? Can it bemeasured in an objective way? Should the upper body be involved in CVfitness training? Is it possible to develop muscular strength throughcardio-vascular training? How can training be optimised to allow anyindividual to achieve peak fitness and vitality, regardless of theirage? Aged 59years of age and inhis peak physical condition, Dragan's discoveries have evolved intothe Fitness4x4 training method which in now taught in 3continents and8countries worldwide.

I have been training and playing rugby for 16 years. In less than 1 year Fitness 4x4 training my fitness, power and strength have all gone through the roof. I have had an injury free season and probably played my best rugby. I captained Old Belvedere to one of our most successful seasons ever. ( 3 trophies ).
